Senator, that old joke about pulling for the Soviets against Tech in basketball is not a joke. Tech played the Soviet National Team for their season opener/exhibition game back at the Goober Dome back in the mid 80s. Accompanied by a younger brother and a buddy from law school named Alex, we went tot he game, sat on the baseline,, wore red and pulled for the Soviets, who thrashed the nerd hoopsters. We got a lot of dirty looks from the pencil necks, but no one really bothered us. Imgaine 3 normal guys in red surrounded by a sea of Sheldons from The Big Bang Theory, all dressed in non-matching shades of yellow, and you should have a pretty accurate, albeit disturbing, visual.

“Unless you, America, pull all military forces out of the Persian Gulf area, immediately, and forever, Crimson Jihad will rain fire on one major US city each week, until our demands are met. First, we will detonate one nuclear weapon on this uninhabited island as a demonstration of our power. Crimson Jihad’s willingness to be humanitarian. However, if these demands are not met, Crimson Jihad will rain fire on one major American city each week.”

Quote Of The Day

“It's definitely different not knowing exactly who it's gonna be, but in a way, I feel like that's good,” he said. “One of my old coaches from Valdosta told me that competition is one of the best coaches. And I feel like, as well as each one of those three guys is performing, they're not gonna do anything but make each other better.” -- Jay Rome, The Red & Black, 3/25/15
